AP Music Theory

This brand-new addition to Barron's series of Advanced Placement test prep manuals presents a comprehensive review of music theory, followed by two full-length practice tests with all questions answered and explained. These practice tests include both aural and non-aural sections. The three audio CDs enclosed with the manual provide aural skill development prompts for both practice tests' aural sections, as well as material that complements exercises and examples in the subject review chapters. Topics covered in the review chapters include music fundamentals, harmonic organisation, harmonic progression, melodic composition and dictation, relationship of key centres, harmonic dictation and composition, visual score analysis, contextual listening, strategies for harmonising and sight-singing, and much more. Multiple-choice questions with strategies for test-taking success appear at the end of many chapters.
